Will be interesting to know if the Wi-Fi connection it's stable with this update...
Here are the release notes listed for upgrade to 1.0.1.70 from 1.0.1.56. I had to downgrade to 1.0.1.56 again because LAN / WAN are still disconnecting then reconnecting at random times causing internet disconnections on Ethernet / Wi-Fi
